Description

It is a comprehensive introduction to Quakerism which balances a history of the theology of the Quakers or Friends with an overview of present day practice. It charts the growth of the Quaker movement throughout the 1650s and 1660s, its different theological emphasis within the eighteenth century, and the schisms of the nineteenth century which resulted within the range of Quaker traditions found around the globe these days. The book focuses in particular on notions of ‘endtime’, ‘spiritual intimacy’, and what counts as ‘the world’ as key areas of theological change. The second one half of the book uses extracts from Quaker texts to focus on differences in belief and approach between the different traditions and analyses their future prospects. The book is generously illustrated and includes a large number of diagrams to assist the reader. Undergraduate and graduate students will find this an crucial introduction to the Quaker movement.
